His endorsement portfolio includes brands like Adidas, Fanatics, Pizza Hut, Sharpie, and State Farm. Rodgers is also a minority owner of the Milwaukee Bucks, making him the only NFL player with a stake in an NBA franchise.
Beyond football, he co-founded Rx3 Ventures, a venture capital firm, and the Online Sports Database (OSDB), which functions like IMDb for athletes. He has additionally been active in tech startups and real estate ventures.
His net worth is reportedly among the top 10 highest of all time among NFL players. With Rodgers having a two-decade-long career, he played through many eras of the NFL. Unfortunately, he’s already past his prime, but he has still made a considerable amount of money.
Rodgers’ Fantasy Outlook Week 10
Here’s what PFSN’s Kyle Soppe wrote on Rodgers’ fantasy outlook for the Week 10 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers:
Sunday was the perfect example of why you can’t trust Aaron Rodgers in fantasy this year. He played well. He didn’t turn the ball over, managed the clock, and led his team to an upset win over the Colts.
He threw for 203 yards and one score, averaging just 8.1 yards per completion. The Steelers have been far more competitive than anyone thought, and without the benefit of a crazy game script, this offense isn’t designed for Rodgers to provide us with gaudy stat lines.
It’s designed for him to do exactly what he did against Indianapolis. The future Hall of Famer threw 35 passes, and not one of them resulted in a 20-yard gain. With little splash play potential and even less rushing upside, everything needs to be perfect for Rodgers to be on the fringe of QB1 production.
That’s not a range of outcomes that interests me in any matchup, let alone against a defense that has allowed under 4.5 yards per play over its past two games.
